A German Citizen Protests.

Editor LIGHT
In your last nights issue a number Of
German citizens, to their utmost sur
and report of the entertainment given
by the Frohsinn Singing society at
Krisch's hall.
One feature of the evening, your re-
porter stated, was the proposal and
agreement to send the congratulations
of all German speaking citizens of San
Antonio to the emperor of Germany on
his ninetieth birthday.
The report further says that a CON-
mittee of four was appointed to frame
and forward the congratulation.
The committee was composed OF Mr..
Carl Beck, Macmillan SutOr, Carl Cos
ling and Oscar Schmidt; and, as the lit.
tie notice states, the message was for
warded by cablegram, signed by this
committee.
The question arises, how can little
handful of German-speaking singers dare
to send such an important cablegram to
the emperor Of Germany in the name Of
all German-speaking citizens Of San An
tonic, without their conseutp
Are they representing all German
speaking singers here or in Texas? Ger
DOt. AAc hhO
prominent German citizens Of Texas?
Not at all. Who are the parties who for
warded such nonsensep The committee
10 headed by Mr.. Carl Beck. Who is
Mr.. Carl Beck? He may be musical
genius but certainly not a representa-
tive Of all Contemplating citizens and
singers in Texas. Next to him we find
Mr.. Macmillan Sutor; probably a nice
gentleman, but only very short time
In America and consequently represents
nobody.
As matter OF course we find Mr..
Oscar Schmidt on the programme, a
Milwaukee beer drummer, not even a
bring his name In print before the pub
lie. The tail end of the committee Is
occupied by Mr.. Carl GOsling, poor
whisky drummer, and probably the least
fit to represent the German nationality.
We would certainly not have taken
any notice Of the item in question II the
committee had not framed the congrs-
tulation in the name Of all German
speaking citizens and singers.
We believe that the majority Of Ger
man-speaking citizens and singers are
naturalized Americans. and as such are
good republicans, and consider II dis
tasteful to send such message.
OF course, everybody can crafty his
own feelings by sending congratulations
In his own name, but II handful OF
high-spirited people. by glass OF foam
ing lager, undertakes to represent the
whole German speaking population, we
must most earnestly protest.

HUTCHINSON NEWS.

The Hutchinson News appears as a
daily, containing the morning Associated
Press dispatches. appears in quarto form
and new type. The first number of the
improved edition failed to reach us, but
from the appearance of the second number
we must congratulate the president Of the
Hutchinson News Company, Mr.. Easley,
upon the style and contents Of the Daily
News Few towns in America, even
would or could support such an enter
prise. The News speaks for the energy Of
its proprietors. and for the faith and conf
dence OF the Hutchinson people in the
future of their city. as no other possible
enterprise could speak. and the EAGLE
hopes the shadow of neither their paper or
city will ever grow less.

The Commonwealth says. infereutially.
that touching the make up and standing Of
the last legislature shat the EAGLE was
wrong, and the Commonwealth in com
mendipg il was not only right, but that
public sentiment is with the Common
wealth. Wouldn't if be just as well to let
the public speak for themselves, which they
will do at the next election for representa-
tivcs. Just remember to mark how many
of the old members will be returned The
Capital is also, we note. cheaping in on 8
defense of the last legislature, its personel
and its work. We haven't time to enumer-
ate, but take the police law and no citizen
of Kansas, except he be the under dog in
some miserable municipal fight, but that
hangs his head in shame over such enact
ments. And there is the bastard municipal
suffrage bill whom not one man in three
can brook, and bill which the last cleo
tion shows that five women out of six in
Kansas repudisted. And there Is dozen
or more others just as Objectionable, but in
which there was more money than politics
corporation money.

ON THE OTHER SIDE.

MEDICINE LODGE, April 9, 1887.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Sir:-Your issue of the Sth claimed q
descri ption of the recent municipal election
in the city of Medicine Lodge. The per-
son who writes the headlines for the EAGLE
must have been charmed by that descrip-
ton, as he introduced it to the public by
such expressions as Hair Pulling at Polls,
Medicine Lodge broke the monotony Of
election by hair pulling bee between a
brace OF furious female suffragists, and
this elegant preamble was followed by the
article in question. The author states In
easy prose that the ladies were led sstray
by designing men. that they had not sense
enough to know which way they were
voting. that they were drawn to the polls
like gang of Chinese laborers, that they
got into row and that the fur was about
to fly, when the timely appearance Of the
marshal stopped the hair pulling l shall
not refer to the subordinate indecencies of
the article, but content myself as branding
it as lie from beginning to end. Con-
cerning the author, have little to say. 1t
is charity to suppose he was drunk when
he sent you the communication, which he
did not venture TO sign. a sober man

ited
The spectacle OF Kansas City on its
knees less than one year ago, to the Mis-
souri, Pacific, should be burned in our

MORE RAILROADS.
We want more railroads The Santa

the products from, and merchandise to, all

south and west Of Medicine Lodge by
railroad connections that are south and
northwest of Wichita
Take map and look. The Southern
Kansas and c., f. & w. Santa Fe) exten-
sion from Medicine Lodge, drains natural
Wichita points into Kansas City. The
Rock Island will drain this same territory
by its Greensburg line into Chicago, and
we have no direct line from Wichita to
this southwestern territory. The exten-
sion of the Missouri Pacific to Medicine
Lodge from Hazelton, and thence to the
southwest, should be the first work of our
Board of Trade
WICHITA WANTS.
We want the Cedar Vale railroad built;
we want railroad connection with Harper.
In fine, if we had our supremacy, we must
have railroads to all natural Wichita
points" and not be compelled to reach
them by transfer of freight over railroads
that have an interest in the long haul in-
stead of the short one.
1t is but stating the truth to aver that
these are natural Wichita points" within
one hundred miles Of us, that in the aggre
gate do millions of trade per year not one
cent of which we get except by transfer of
freight, which, viewed in its most favorable
light is hardship upon both buyer and
seller by delaying shipment from one to
three days, thereby putting Kansas City,
in point of time, equal to us in distance,
though we are from $50 to 225 miles
nearer
The territory to be reached by the ex
tension from Hazelton to Medicine Lodge |
and southwest and from Wichita to Doug
las and southeast is just as valuable to US
as the Kansas Midland, Wichita & Colora-
do and Kiowa extension, and our Board Of
Trade must awake to this fact soon or sur
render the territory to Kansas City and
forever under great hardship fight for this
trade. We urge these facts for the
consideration of Wichita

Kansas City and Wichita are particularly
